hello and assistance if possible

Hi,
This is my first post and I would like to say Hola to all my fellow firefighter. I am a volunteer with the La Paz BCS,MX Fire Department. I have been a volunteer for 4 years, during that time I have recieved my Basic EMT certificate from the Mex Red Cross. I have recieved various other training from the department. I function as the only bi-lingual member of their staff, assisting in explaining equipment operation to my fellow firefighters, when items are deliverd by non-Spanish speaking donators.

Now on to my problem; I loaned my 'comabat-fire' clothes for them to be used in a local childrens parade. Unfortunately, my helmet was not returned to the station with the other equipment. Our department operates on a very small budget and I am having a problem getting the 'powers at be' to issue me another helmet.
I would like to solicit your assistance in getting a used helmet for my personal use. New helmets here may run over 2,000 pesos. My income is limited and would like to acquire a used one in good / safe condition .
Thanks, My resonse time to any correspondence will be slow as I do not own a computer.

(I'm Mike and I prepared the English version, Dianna translated to Spanish. It was my wife who borrowed the equipment and it all went on the truck headed back to station...stranger things have happened...)
